Watertown continues to draw crowds
The newly launched Watertown, an integrated waterfront development located near Punggol Waterway continues to draw strong interest from property hunters. As of yesterday evening, the project, which was launched on 20 January, has already sold approximately 580 of the 828 units released, priced from S$980 psf to S$1,500 psf.
Yesterday, PropertyGuru reported that most of the buyers were Singaporeans, with one- and two-bedroom suites being the most popular. Meanwhile, Watertown welcomed about 4,250 visitors to its showflat over the Chinese New Year weekend beginning 21 to 24 January, and sold 224 units.
"With changing lifestyles and interests, coupled with smaller family units, many Singapore residents have found that they have much more free time on their hands during the Chinese New Year holidays," said Chia Boon Kuah, Chief Operating Officer, Property Sales at Far East Organization.
He added that strong demand "has been seen at our integrated developments in trans-urban locations, as buyers increasing seek a modern lifestyle that lets them enjoy the best of both worlds - the choice and tranquility of locations outside of the core urban centre, and yet with convenient access to all the amenities and transport connectivity traditionally found in urban hubs."
Far East is jointly developing Watertown with Frasers Centrepoint and Japan's Sekisui House, Ltd.
